Kathy,

Just websearch "crochet plastic bags".  There are some great sites for crocheting with plastic bags from tote bags to rugs and more.

Hi Kathy!

I found several free plastic tote bag patterns in Ravelry.com, a knit/crochet community where you can find TONS of patterns.

Here's a link to a pattern for a Plastic Bag Tote by Marlo D. Cairns

Here's a Green Shopping Recycled Bag pattern: http://www.myrecycledbags.com/2009/01/02/the-green-shopping-bag/

Those are just a couple of the many patterns which I found in Ravelry.com.

Hope that helps!

You can use this book "Making Vinyl, Plastic, and Rubber Handbags: Sewing Stylish Projects from Unusual Materials" . This book explores how these different types of materials can be used to create one-of-a-kind trendy items for the home sewer. The projects cater to all ages and degrees of difficulty, and materials are easy to find at traditional fabric stores.
